INGREDIENT NOTES:
VEGAN GRAHAM CRACKERS:
- We use them instead of traditional crackers to make your dish vegan. They give crunch and a sweet base to your dessert. You may use vegan digestive biscuits as an alternative.
COCONUT OIL:
- Coconut oil binds the crust and provides a rich texture in your meal. We may use vegan butter as another idea.
MAPLE SYRUP:
- It gives caramel-like sweetness to your dessert and improves the pecan taste in your recipe. We may utilize agave syrup or date syrup as another idea.
UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK:
- We use it in the filling, and it provides a neutral flavor that blends easily with other ingredients. Also, it makes your cream smooth. You may replace it with oat milk or rice milk as another option.
COCONUT CREAM:
- Coconut cream gives a creamy, dessert-like texture to your recipe. It gives richness & creaminess to your dessert. You may utilize cashew cream as an alternative.
ORGANIC CANE SUGAR:
- It gives sweetness and structure to your filling. Also, it maintains the coconut and pecan taste in your dessert. You may replace it with maple syrup as well.
CORNSTARCH:
- Cornstarch turns your liquid filling into firm cream and gives structure to your recipe. We may use arrowroot powder or tapioca starch as another idea.
PURE VANILLA EXTRACT:
- It gives aroma and warmth to your filling. Also, it improves the sweetness and maintains the coconut & pecan flavor in your recipe. You may utilize vanilla bean pasta as another idea.
PECANS:
- They provide a buttery, nutty taste and a little crunch to your recipe. This is the main flavor in your dessert. You may utilize walnuts or almonds as an alternative.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat your oven to 180°C and mix melted coconut oil, graham crackers, and maple syrup in a bowl.
- You will firmly press the mixture into your tray and bake the crust for ten minutes.
- Cool the crust and include almond milk, coconut cream, and organic cane sugar in your saucepan.
